/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

[capoinfra]

Hello,

I can not execute a cron with wget over a php file...

The /usr/bin/wget binary has 755 permissions.

But, I created a cron job from cpanel, for example: wget -q -O /dev/null http://www.mydomain.com/empty.php and receive e-mails with the message:

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied

The script is empty, just for test this problem.

I don't understand why can't run wget with cron.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance!

What user is the script runing as?
Are you running SELinux?
What are the perms on /usr/sbin and /usr, and ownerships?

brianoz,

Thank you for your interest.

I request cPanel official support and the problem is solved now.

Was caused for insufficient permissions over wget binary.

Thank you!

To get it resolved you need to follow the given steps :

Login to server with root

check the path of wget with command

#which wget

#chown root.get-users /usr/bin/wget

#usermod -g get-users username

#chmod 750 /usr/bin/wget

you can verify it with

#grep username /etc/group
